If it had Bonneville Catalina parking lamps, it may have been a PA car. If so,the slits had no lights behind them.

Thats how mine is.... and yes it was sold new in Pennsylvania. There is actually a block off plate in place of the parking light.

Pics are the day after I bought it. No I didn't buy it from the junky carlot in the background... I own the place

Nice car! I'm not even going to make a "used car dealer" crack either.

Does it have a reclining passenger seat?

LOL... I've pretty much heard them all and made a few up along the way.(LOL)

The car doesn't have the reclining seat, but it does have AM-FM and gauges though.

Both of my GP's have had headrests and recline. Almost every GP with headrests that I have seen has had recline also.

I had another '67 a few years back with headrests but no recliner. I personally don't care for the headrests myself.

I don't like the headrests because my shoulders rest up against the lower part odf the headrest which is uncomfortable... plus I don't want to damage the headrest either. The recliner seat would be pretty cool though.

For those who asked about the wheels on my 67 Grand Prix, the rims are 17 by 8 with backspacing of 4.5". I measured a front wheel (easier to remove) and compared a couple of dimensions to a rear wheel mounted on the car and they appear to be the same.

Hope this helps.

That car is better than a lot of East Coast drivers.

It is restorable. It has a pretty decent black interior and the body is real solid. The car needs a motor, a windshield an a back window and probably a lot more. I mainly bought it for the solid metal to repair the Turquoise '67. I figured I'd better jump on the opurtunity as this stuff is getting hard to find. The guy wanted $3000... I ended up getting it for $1200

Ok I'm from the Midwest and southwest. Can someone explain to me why the PA cars would have a different parking light arrangement from cars in other states?

PA had some kind of law regarding lights being obstructed or something.
